The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue

I picked this book up because it is so popular and gets so many rave reviews, and I was somewhat disappointed. I enjoyed the book, it is sweet and melancholy. But it was also unnecessary long, often slow, the character development wasn't particularly deep or nuanced, and the writing didn't strike me as particularly brilliant.

I don't regret reading it, but I don't get what all the hype is about.

I definitely haven't read this before but there's a very strong sense of déjà vu that permeates entire book. Just adds to the enjoyment, really. Love a supernatural romance- even if this was a bit more gentle in both of those departments than I'd usually prefer, still good 👍

I have not fallen in love this quickly and completely with a book in a good long while. I knew from the first few chapters that I was going to tear through it because I was immediately enchanted by Addie and the intricacies of the way she moved in the world. This was my first time reading Schwab's work and it definitely won't be my last. Her writing is eloquent and so full of brilliant thoughts and ideas. What a treasure this was to experience.
